Abba were the reigning champions of pop during
the 1970s. They began with effervescent vocal harmonies coupled with catchy
upbeat refrains, notably Waterloo (1974) and Fernando (1976),
but then proved to excel also in the discos, with
Dancing Queen (1977) and Gimme Gimme Gimme (1979),
and finally ventured into the romantic melodrama with
Knowing Me Knowing You (1977) and Winner Takes It All (1980).
Supertrouper (1981) returned them to their naive-pop glory, and,
after Abba disbanded, their leaders and songwriters managed to top all of this
with a superb exotic pastiche,
Murray Head's One Night In Bangkok (1985).
